I mean, some of Isaac Asimov's stories was about robots trying to decide if the emotional harm they caused breached the first law. Still though, Asimov imagined every chatbot would be a big bulky robot, not a tiny app in your pocket.

    I'm curious how they interpret things like medical procedures that harm a human but are ultimately good. Like setting a bone or a simple vaccination.

    In general they weigh the immediate harm against long-term benefits, but a lot of edge cases are discussed during the various short stories, like cases where there are only harmful outcomes. They are definitely worth a read!
